Chat room types
Each project or quote will have two chat room types:
All project members chat room
This chat room is set up automatically when a project or a quote is created in XTRF. It includes all members of the project:
Project managers.
Project coordinator (if assigned to the project or task).
All vendor contact persons assigned to the jobs in the project.

The All project members chat room is created for every project and cannot be deleted.
Vendor names in this chat room are anonymized by default, so vendors cannot see each other's real names. Managers can always see the vendors' real names.
If a job is not assigned to a specific vendor contact person, no representatives from this vendor will be invited to this chat room.
Individual chat rooms
These chat rooms are set up automatically when a new vendor contact person joins the project. The managers and the specific vendor contact can chat here in private.
Individual chat room members are:
project managers.
project coordinator (if assigned to the project).
one specific vendor contact person assigned to a job in the project.

Vendors cannot chat with each other individually. They can only communicate openly in the All project members chat room.
If a job is not assigned to a specific vendor contact person, an individual chat room won't be created.
